You mean cryptoloop? You are going to hate me, but after looking at the 
available solutions offered. it's the best one going.

Take a tip, jump straight to 2.6.1 kernel and implement/deploy your 
crypto-loop project from there. My reasons for doing so are, there's no need 
to patch the kernel to support cryptoloop (it's build in) and there's crypto 
incompatibilites when between earlier crypto engines.

If you need a script to setup your crypto-loop are boot up, I've got a nice 
one. Just ask.
